DreamWeaver FTP error

We are trying to publish our website from Dreamweaver on to inmotionhosting but it continues to bring up a FTP error that says "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. The remote host cannot be found."

From the research online that I've done, and the interactions with other customers with this FTP error, and other common FTP errors, I'm guessing that more than likely you have one of the following problems preventing you from publishing your DreamWeaver website to the server successfully:

I had the same problem. An InMotion tech told me that sometimes the password did not "set" (his words) and to keep trying. I did. For two days. Finally it worked and has worked since. I didn't do anything different. I was using the correct user name and password from the start. One of those unexplained kinks somewhere, but I don't think it was in Dreamweaver because I have used it since it was Macromedia and Dreamweaver FTP access always worked until now. But eventually it seems the password will "take."
